Chocolate-Banana-Marshmallow “Sandwich”

Posted on 07/06/2010 by Maura

I know I have become somewhat of a jet-setter lately between North Carolina and Massachusetts, and therefore my posts have been suffering, but rest assured things are back to normal now.  Well, for a month that is, before I head back to Little Neck for two whole weeks!  I can’t wait to just relax on the beach for a long, much deserved vacation before a (hopefully) busy fall at work.  We are also going to hit Boston and Newport, Rhode Island while up in Massachusetts, which I am extremely excited for.

Since I’ve been so busy between houses finishing up at work and my vacations, I haven’t been making too many desserts, besides my awesome Strawberry Cake.  Tim wanted something sweet at about, oh, midnight one night, so I whipped this up with ingredients on hand.  I had actually made it for him a few months back, and he loved it.  This time, it wasn’t as good.  I think it was because I used Hershey’s bars from camping about three months ago… Whoops.  Anyway, the taste is phenomenal and it is quick to throw together.  It’s basically like a jacked up S’more, and who doesn’t love S’mores?

Although I took a few bites of this overstuffed, delicious sandwich, I just couldn’t justify eating one myself when I had to be in a bathing suit in a few days.  Nonetheless, you must give this a try, especially if you in a time crunch.  With a smidgen of peanut butter, you will forget every calorie in this sandwich as you are overcome with bliss.  I promise.

Chocolate-Banana-Marshmallow “Sandwich”

Recipe by Maura Dieringer

Yield: 1 sandwich

Ingredients

2 slices white bread

1 tablespoon butter, room temperature

1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 banana, cut into thin slices

1 milk chocolate bar, cut in half (Hershey’s)

6 regular sized marshmallows

Optional filling: Peanut butter

Instructions

Turn the oven to broil.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.  Line the marshmallows on the baking sheet and pop the sheet in the oven.  Keep a close eye on them, because they only take about a minute or two to cook and will burn in the matter of seconds!  Once the marshmallows are golden brown, remove from the oven and set aside.  Turn the oven off.

In a small bowl, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until combined.  Spread half of the mixture on one side of one slice of bread, and spread the other half on one side of the other slice.  Line the banana, toasted marshmallows, and the chocolate bar in as even of a layer as you can on the undisturbed side of one slice of bread and place the other bread, butter side up to form a sandwich.

Put a small pan over medium-high heat and grill the sandwich until both sides are golden brown.  Cut in half and enjoy!

About Maura

I have a secret: I cannot do anything in moderation. I always have to take things to the extreme, at the expense of my own and my family's sanity and often times my dad’s checkbook. When I started taking horseback riding lessons, I insisted on having a pony. When I ice skated for probably the second time, I made my mom buy me ice skates that were never again worn. When I thought I wanted to be a teacher, I made my parents turn one of the rooms in the basement into a school room, stocked with an overhead projector, pull-down maps and a real, classroom-sized chalkboard and white board. When I discovered cooking I bossed my older sister around in the kitchen for an entire day, forcing her to make dozens of recipes with me against her will and then had her do all the dishes (sorry Cait). And, when I discovered food blogs I bought the biggest binder I could find, printed out 250 recipes in one day and laminated and categorized each one. My dad was not happy about the ink situation. So, what does this tell you about me? For one, you can trust that every recipe I post is more than delicious and has been meticulously tried and tested for you. Also, that I’m an anal freak. Enjoy!
